HONG KONG, November 12, 2026 — IMC, a global, research-driven quantitative trading firm, has significantly increased its Hong Kong footprint, moving into a new 18,350 square foot office at Two International Finance Centre (Two IFC).

As part of IMC’s broader expansion across Asia Pacific, the new office serves as the hub for IMC’s APAC Systematic Equities business. It is also a base for hiring quantitative researchers, software engineers and traders across the firm’s other business lines.

The office was officially opened on November 12, 2026. While congratulating IMC on its expansion at the new office opening ceremony, the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Mr Christopher Hui, affirmed that Hong Kong will continue to promote the high-quality development of the financial market. He added: “Preparations are under way for a T+1 settlement cycle for the cash market, and we are advancing the use of wholesale central bank digital currency for after-hours derivatives trading. We will also support a richer range of indices, index-based ETFs (exchange-traded fund) and derivatives products. We look forward to seeing the expanded office become a platform for further innovation, while Hong Kong continues to serve as a preferred base for global trading firms.”

The Director-General of Investment Promotion, Ms Alpha Lau, congratulated IMC on its continued expansion in Hong Kong. She said: “For a growing trading business where every nanosecond counts, Hong Kong’s international connectivity, robust legal system, and talent pool provide strong foundations for success. We are delighted to see IMC continue to expand its presence, demonstrating that the city provides the ideal environment for businesses to thrive at the intersection of frontier technology and global finance. InvestHK is committed to bringing in clients to enrich our trading ecosystem and to continuously strengthening Hong Kong’s position as a leading international financial centre.”

Andrew Fong, Managing Director, IMC Hong Kong, said: “We’ve traded in Asia’s markets for more than 20 years, and activity across the region keeps growing. We expect that growth to continue in the coming years. This new office gives us the space to build the team the way we’ve wanted to. Two IFC puts us in the centre of Hong Kong’s financial community, close to the region’s exceptional pool of quantitative, technical and trading talent.”

The growing Hong Kong team will continue to work closely with IMC’s Sydney office, which has more than 350 employees.

“IMC Sydney and IMC Hong Kong work as one team,” said Matthew Benney, Managing Director and Head of Asia Pacific at IMC. “Our people share the same technology and the same goals, and they work across both offices. We see significant opportunity across Asia Pacific, and Hong Kong will drive much of that growth. Our goal is to be the leading trading firm in the region.”

IMC Hong Kong is hiring at all levels, from graduates to senior hires, with candidates drawn from Hong Kong, Mainland China, Singapore and other markets. The firm is also relocating people from its offices around the world to join the Hong Kong team. It expects the team to keep growing over the coming years as it builds out trading, technology and research in the region.
